the Union Pacific company. He had been paid
by attorney Thurston, but did not know that he
was working for the Union Pacific. He had
never used money; had sometimes procured
passes for members and friends. His principal
duty had been to "enlighten members" most of
whom, he said, were sadly in need of enlighten-
ment. The witness avowed himself strong
railroad man, and expressed his belief that most
anti-railroad measures introduced were pieces of
demagogism to further special ends OF the mem
bers fathering them.
Governor Pattison again called on the officers
of the Union Pacific to bring assistant attorney
Thurston before them, the commission having
been unable to find him.
Attorney Poppleton. replying said the officials
of the company had control Judge
Thurston. and his present whereabouts was un-
known they did not believe Thurston was con-
cealing himself from the commission.

ciic with the politics of Nebraska. He charged
that its employees, who sometimes went to
lobbyists had corrupted conventions and
Legislatures by the of money. One
method of the company's men had been to hire
a number of rooms at hotel in Lincoln, in
which they and their friends would meet. He
knew of such room, at one session, which was
called the 'oil-room." Attorney Thurston

charge of ali lobbying operations. The witness
had no personal knowledge of money having
been paid by the company to influence votes, but

sions. At time, when there talk of
building line interfere with the Union
Pacific, Jay Gould had telegraphed
tha. if Douglas county lin which
Omaha is situated, aided the road with
bonds he would remove the Union Pacific shops
and Offices from Omaha.
Attorney Poppleton objected to this kind of
hearsay testimony from man who had no per-
sonal knowledge of most of what he was stat

testimony and note all objections. They were
able to discriminate between legal evidence and
hearsay. AT the end of the session the commits
